[en] Design and fabrication details of a pool type Liquid Helium Cryopump are described. It has got a liquid helium capacity of 5 litres and a/ pumping surface area of about 450 sq. cms. Three types of baffles having different geometries are used for radiation shield. Effect on pumping speed for argon, carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas using the baffles is determined at various pressures. The circular array baffle geometry provides the maximum pumping speed. Using circular array type baffle the maximum pumping speed for nitrogen, argon and carbon dioxide are 2700 1/s, 3600 1/s, 2550 1/s respectively at a pressure of 6.0 x 10^-4 torr. The ultimate pressure obtained is 3.0 x 10^-8 torr. (author)
